Our goal is to ensure our children grow through play and imagination in a safe and nurturing environment. Following these beliefs will help our children develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
When selecting a daycare, you should feel completely at ease and know that your child will be ultimately cared for by professionals you trust. Through strong parent partnerships, Early Learning Children’s Academy will meet the individual needs of each child in our daycare programs.
Enrollment at ELCA is open to children from 6 weeks through school age. Initial enrollment begins with the completion of a registration form and payment of the registration fee. Prior to the child’s first day all necessary enrollment packet forms must be returned to the center director. These forms can be obtained from the director or downloaded from the links below.

This means so much to us as a family to know that our daughter is loved and supported at school as well as at home.
My toddler has been attending ELCA for about 6 months now. The directors and teachers are caring, communicative, and organized. The building and classrooms are clean, safe, and welcoming. I’ve been very happy with the curriculum – my son has learned so much and I think he will be well-prepared for school in the future. Pricing is fair for the area.
Last day at ELCA and the end of the summer carnival. After 3 1/2 years together, I cannot even put into words how special this place has been to us over the last few years! You worked tirelessly through a pandemic and helped keep this space the sense of normalcy our children needed. The staff has become family and we cannot thank you all enough for loving our child like one of your own, nurturing her, helping her be the best version of herself, and preparing her for her next big chapter! Our child quite frankly grew up here and we are going to miss you all so much, this is not goodbye, just see you later! Our family loves you very much! Kindergarten here we come!
My daughter has had such a wonderful experience at ELCA. She has made great friends and has had the best teachers who truly care about all of the kids, really get to know each family, and understand every child’s needs.
Since my daughter started here it has been a beautiful thing. I feel so warm and safe with my daughter being in their care.
My Son Josiah has been going there since he was 2 and he has learned so much and has prosper on so many levels from his First Teacher Ms.Debbie helping with potty training, being hands on with him and now his teacher MsVal and MsAlexis being consistent We LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE FROM THE CENTER AS THEY DO MY SON. It does not go unnoticed all the hard work and dedication that is put into each kids. Let’s NOT FORGET the amazing ADMINISTRATOR MS.MARIE. She is a Gem with a heart full of Gold. Thank you so much for the support! The BEST DAYCARE a Parent can ask for ❤️
ELCA has been a godsend for my family! We have had very bad experiences with previous daycares for our son. ELCA has made us feel like we are a part of a family! The director Mrs. Donna is extremely helpful, compassionate, and understanding. Ms. Krystal (toddler teacher) is by far the best teacher my son has had! He has already learned so much in a short period of time. Ms. Krystal keeps the children very active throughout the day with fun and creative activities and crafts! Our family is so grateful to have found such a caring and wonderful daycare!
Friday my daughter finished her last day of summer camp at Fort Washington and will start Kindergarten on Monday. I’m reaching out because I wanted to share with you how positive our experience at ELCA has been with our child’s Pre-k teacher, Maggie Winner, and Director Christina Sibley. We attended another center prior to ELCA and been through many directors and teachers and these two are by far some of the best there is.
Maggie’s compassion, patience, and creative way of teaching have helped my daughter thrive and be in a perfect position to go into Kindergarten. Aside from teaching, Maggie is one of the best humans I’ve ever met. She is truly one of a kind and we will be eternally grateful that we got to share a year of our life with her.
Christina has been such a consistent, reliable presence with a knack for planning and handling difficult situations. I’m sure it wasn’t easy handling all the COVID stuff and she did it seamlessly, even over the weekend. She is ALWAYS there. In our experience at other centers, sometimes the Director would be hard to track down if you really needed to speak with them. Not Christina. She’s there for early morning drop-offs and later afternoon pickups. And she responds to emails almost always on the same day. There were times when I emailed her over the weekend with something for the coming week and I’d be surprised when she responded before Monday morning. That’s unheard of. Sometimes I’ve worried about her work-life balance, she’s so available at the center. In my professional experience in the banking industry, we have a high turnover rate too due to the nature of the industry. However, when we have a stellar employee that we’d be devastated to lose, we make sure to do everything we can to make sure we retain them. Additionally, all the staff seems to genuinely like and respect her, which is a hard line to walk.
I hope you know how lucky you are to have Maggie and Christina. They made our lives so much easier and we will miss them dearly.
Dallas’ Back to School Night! Maybe it’s the teacher in me but I LOVED every second of it! Seeing what she is working on, how much she has already grown (no tears at drop off), and the LOVE she has gotten!!!!! ELCA you truly are magical! I can’t wait for all the memories she is about to start making there! My mommy heart and teacher heart is so excited for what’s to come! ❤️if you are looking for child care there’s no where else to be but here!
I was so sad and terrified to send my baby girl to daycare, but it ended up being the greatest thing. As an infant, I would definitely annoy her teachers with texts throughout the day (we LOVE Ms. Alex!!), but they’d always happily respond and send pictures. My daughter loved going to “school” and would run in every day, wave/hug all of her friends, and hardly even say goodbye to us. She learned so much; I was amazed every week at all of the new things she was grasping. Truly, all of the teachers we’ve encountered have been great (I really do think they love their students), so I can’t do anything but praise them.
